Happy Earth Day! I hope you’re all enjoying your Sundays. I will, until in the afternoon the storms roll in. Earth Day comes around only once a year, but really every day should be Earth Day. After all, where would we all be without the Earth?

As a little inspiration, I’ve picked out a few books that would be great reads on a day like this. Either, because they remind us of the vulnerability of the environment, or because it brings back memories of living in tune with nature (at least more so than most of us do now).

1. Heksenkind (original title: Wise Child) by Monica Furlong – Magic, potions, and adventure in tune with nature, as an orphaned child comes to live with a sorceress.

2. Earth’s Children by Jean M. Auel – A child coming of age in prehistoric times throughout the series.

3. Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery – Seeing the country side through the eyes of a child, who has grown up in the city.
